Alright haha, thank you so much (: Now on that page it has 2 downloads at the time.. I'm assuming I'll get the 1.2.6 download right? My atrix's build number says OLYFR_U4_1.2.6
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyV94:
Yeah, you're gonna want the 1.2.6

But I do suggest that you install GingerBlur actually and have the hack readily available without having to do much yourself, and also be able to do the HDMI Mirroring. Unless you want to keep the look of motoblur (blech).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macperson123:
Hm... I'll have to think about it.. My phones about dead, so I have time to decide. I honestly like Motoblur and would prefer to keep it.. But I want the Webtop hack to work so bad, but I can't get it to work :/ ugh

Same Issue - Help Needed

My phone has the same issue as well. When I plug in my phone into my TV, all that shows is the Motorola symbol. It does not launch the entertainment center menu. Is there a way to fix or download an app to fix?

FYI, I'm not a developer. I came across this from a google search so I wouldn't know how to do any install, reboot, etc. As well, I bought this from another person who was an app developer. I'm assuming it's been rooted and I'm assuming that's why the entertainmnet center menu won't launch. Thank you in advance for your time and help!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] -_Maximus_-:
My boss and I are having a little debate/bet:

I argued to him that the screen off animation (like the old tube style tv television turning off) was PURPOSELY animated so that the colors appear to separate as the animation progresses before the screen turns off, while HE insists that this effect was not intentional, and only looks that way because that's how screens work..

Does anyone have a definitive answer on this? I'm 99% sure that I'm right I just cant prove it with fact..

Thanks!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Krzysiec:
LOL :D hehe sure its just animation ;) Ask him where he saw phones with CRT display ? :D:D And why on so many phones before Gingerbread release they didn`t go off like that? ;) And after flash Gingerbread they did :P HTC unfortunatelly removed that animation in their SENSE roms :/ So we still have no animation on gingerbread :( :( I wish i had display which goes off like that :D Its very nice effect novadays for people who remember those old TVs ;)

If it is an older SIM card some weird problems can occur... just go to the shop and get a new one.

Maybe you can test it in a Galaxy S (similar hardware)... if the problem persists there, it is highly likely the SIM causing the trouble

I had the same problem on the Milestone... after replacing the SIM it worked fine again.
[Galaxy Tab General] warlord002:
Try this . If you have data block on yoour sim card like i do . You need to go into wireless and network to mobile network to network mode then pick GSM only . then reboot . It work for me on at&t :rolleyes:

I did notice one of the forum posts mentioned a new SIM card. My phone shipped with one, but I am using my old one. I guess I'll try putting it in the phone. Will there be any issues caused by putting the new SIM in?

[Epic 4G General] mad1111:
So it doesnt seem as though there is a thread like this for the Epic.

I figured this would be a good place to list a bunch of random things you've found while "tinkering" with you Epic 4G.

Example:

While in Camera mode, if you hit the power button it locks the camera. No buttons can be pushed until you "Unlock" the camera by pressing the power button once more. I figured this allows you to keep the camera app open without snapping random shots, so that when you are ready the camera app is readily available.

This same method works in the video player function...I found this out cus I have a 2 year old that loves to watch his cartoons on my phone. Well he always tends to touch the screen and it usually interrupts the vid (streaming)...so now I just lock the video player (push the power button while video is playing) and now he can touch it all he wants and it wont interrupt the vid!

What else do you guys/gals know about this AWESOME phone!!???

Confirmed. Wow I Just tried this and it's pretty amazing! +11111111
[Epic 4G General] Pettro:
Here's another one that's semi-useful.

This will only work with the stock SWYPE keyboard. Now there are some complications usually when trying to copy/paste text with androids. If you have a keyboard, you can easily hold "shift" and swype across the text you are trying to copy.

Well with the SWYPE keyboard, if you do not want to open up the physical keyboard, you have the option of pressing the "i" button at the bottom (next to SYM) and if you hold that and swype on over to SYM and back to the "i" button, a menu with several different commands will show up. I'm not too familiar with how to use it, but I know it gives you the option to copy/paste, move up and down and select text fairly easy.

[Epic 4G General] ungovernable1977:
I was just gonna let that one slide... figured they were new to having a phone...
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
No need to swype back to the "i" button. Swyping from the "i" button over to the SYM button brings up the same options. Gives you arrow keys which are pretty awesome to use. Also, if you swype from the "i" button over to the "F" key, it brings up a nice keypad for you to input numbers/symbols.

Also, while on the topic of swyping, here are some other cool things:

If you want to capitalize a letter, you swype from that letter off of the swype keyboard entirely and then continue swyping. So if you wanted for some reason to type CaT, you would swype from the "c" key off of the keyboard entirely and then over to the "a" key and then over to the "t" key and then off the keyboard entirely again.

If you want to hit a double letter, like the two o's in Google, you swype from the "g" over to the "o" and swirl around on it for a second and then continue swyping the rest of the word. The swirling around doubles whatever key you are swirling over.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
just swiping from the swype(or i/info depending on your version/rom/theme) key to sym alone will open that layout.

heres another swipe shortcut

start at the swype/info key then swipe diagonaly to the upper right and let go when your past the keyboard layout.... This will open the numerical keypad.

last one it got (that i can think of at the moment)

you can usually simulate a battery pull/force reset if your softlocked by holding cam+vol_up+power... saved me some hassle when i had a hard case on my epic many times when experimenting with roms/kernel/tweaks.

UPDATE:

muyoso has apparently tapped into my brain and beat me to it LOL... and sombish... yeah u can just swipe from the info to the f and get numerical keypad also
[Epic 4G General] andygallo:
Woah, that's cool.

Anywhere that displays the contact pic (contacts page, emails, txt messages), you can tap on their pic to bring up a small messaging options menu.

Yeah I know. I don't want to root yet, though. (And I really can't right now at home since I have a mac and want EXT4). But this only happens to me in youtube, and for some reason like patting the top or side of the phone helps it rotate.

Using swype,

you may not realize but there is a special menu, which you won't find if you're not looking for it or have not watched the video tutorials at Swype | Text Input for Screens

The special menu includes arrows, copy all, delete select and many more helpful keys. Access it by swyping from the Swype Key (Bottom Left) to the "SYM" key right next to it. To get back to regular keyboard, just press the ABC key.

While you're on the abc (default view) keyboard, swype from SYM key to 5/F key, nice little numeric layout for you.

[Epic 4G General] roomshaped:
A few things.

People probably know lots of this, but here goes.

SWYPE:

Number pad - just swype from the (i) button to the f on the on-screen keyboard (corresponds with the 5) - quick opens the numeric pad.

Copy/Paste easily: Double-tap a word to highlight it. On the second tap-don't lift your finger, instead just quickly slide it across other words to highlight them also. To copy, just tap+hold on the highlighted text and you get a menu.

Kill a word you don't want: Double-tap a word to highlight it. Then push the (i) key to get a prompt to remove it. Kill those stupid typos which you've added over time automatically to the dictionary. ;)

Secondary function: Push and hold any letter to pick the secondary function. Example push and hold m to get a ?

NON-SWYPE STUFF

I use launcher pro so forgive me if some of this doesn't work for you, if you don't use launcher pro.

CAMERA LAUNCH: Push and hold in the dedicated camera button from the home screen of your phone to quick launch the camera.

UNINSTALL APPS: From your app tray, tap+hold an app. keep holding when it switches to desktop and drag to the trash can. Keep holding ON the trash can and after a moment it will prompt "Drop to uninstall." Also, if you alreday have a shortcut to an app on your home screen you can drag + hold over trash can to be prompted to uninstall.
